BA (Hons) Post Production and VFX

... United Kingdom
... University of Salford

Course Overview

Every film goes through three stages: pre-production, production and post production. Post production is a creative and technical process that can make a bad film good, and a good film great.  With a growing demand for bigger and better visual effects, there’s never been a better time to study on a VFX and post production degree course.

Combining practical skills with theory, this BA (Hons) Post Production and VFX degree course has been developed and shaped by leading production companies to ensure our teaching reflects a constantly evolving industry. You’ll cover all aspects of post production, from initial shooting to editing, sound design and VFX creation. At the heart of our post production university courses is collaborative practice, equipping you with the skills you establish a professional career in the creative industry.

What’s more, you’ll be based at our MediaCity campus, meaning you’ll be ideally placed to tap into a network of leading post production and VFX companies. You’ll gain hands-on experience through a series of live briefs, while engaging with renowned industry practitioners and scholars across a variety of initiatives, events and projects.

You will:

  • Develop the creative and technical skills needed to produce high quality post production and VFX visuals
